    Tire pressure for Toyo Proxes 4?

    They were fine in the dry, and great in the dry twisties, but any amount of weather turned them into crap. I could only imagine NY winters...my cheap kumho asx's did great though through heavy snow

    Tire pressure for Toyo Proxes 4?

    I ran mine at 40 psi. God I hated those proxes...absolute crap in any kind of real "all season" weather situation. Got a dusting of snow and couldn't get out of the mall parking lot......

    anyone do a synchromesh and mt90 or shockproof combo mt change?

    I would go straight MT90, its proven, and its a great fluid. I get a discount on Amsoil so I used Amsoil Severe Gear and its like butter, but more temperature sensitive than the MT90, meaning on cold days the Amsoil shifts better after warm up. Some cold region P5s have reported that MT90...

    Tsudo cat back

    Agreed. Plus that tip is just too ricer for me. I ordered a similar catback with the intentions of replacing the tip. The "stainless" rusted within a week and the fitment was absolutely horrible. I had a custom catback built for 250 and have never looked back.

    I Hate My Auto

    Very true. I did have some very interesting people who decided the way to negotiate on the price of my Miata was to say that they didn't want a manual transmission. I just laughed and locked the car up.

    I Hate My Auto

    I run a dealership, as the GSM, and the standard action for any of my business associates with Mazda franchises is to wholesale any traded in P5 manual and keep the automatic. The manuals are harder to sell for similar money and they tend to make the profit margin quite skinny. Our average...
